My Mom Is Totally Lost When It Comes To iPhone Culture And These 5 Things Prove It
https://imgflip.com/memetemplate/94710202/Confused-Phone-Lady

We shouldn't expect our parents to be as tech-savvy as us. They have other things on their plate. Besides, it's a little bit funny and enjoyable watching them use their iPhones.

Here are five things parents just don't seem to understand about iPhones.

1. She blinds people with the flashlight.

When I go to a restaurant with my family I find that my mom is always blinding half the restaurant with her iPhone flashlight because she can't see the menu. There needs to be some kind of "menu flashlight" that's a bit more dim than usual.

2. She zooms in for everything.

I wish it was possible, but no dad, you can't zoom in on Jeff's Facebook status.

3. She accidentally likes Instagram photos I show her.

Showing your parents a photo of someone from a while ago can probably trigger their "accidental liking syndrome." You've probably experienced accidental liking syndrome firsthand if one of your parents liked a picture of your crush from six years ago.

4. She never calls back.

Mom: "I'll call you back"

*five hours later*

No call back. I have to chase her.

5. I have to call my mom to have her check my texts.

I'll text my mom something urgent like "Oh I just got bit by a seizing rabid raccoon" and she won't answer me unless I call her. I have to call her to say mom check your texts.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
